Hi Alan, This issue seems a bit different for Fedora. I've not specifically checked / monitored RES and VIRT growth on later versions of Debian/Ubuntu, and I'm fairly certain it was only the Horizontal waterfalls causing the crashes. To date, I've not had to work around any other version of PIL other than 2.6.x.
Just for completeness, have you built / tried WSPR (python3 version) on Fedora-21? Sorry I can't be more help on this one at the moment. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 06/29/2015 07:26 PM, Alan VK2ZIW wrote: > Hi Greg, > > Not quite resolved yet.... > > I did "yum remove python3-pillow" which removed both: > > python3-pillow > python3-pillow-tk > > and did "pip3 install -I pillow==2.8.2" > (2.8.2 is the latest) > > Still, the same crash in "fast" modes, JTMS etc.. > > > So, let's try 2.7.0 of "pillow" > > pip3 uninstall pillow > pip install -I pillow==2.7.0 > > Sorry, WSJT still crashes. > > "top" shows the process grows to "RES" > 1Gb in about 2 mins. > > So, let's try 2.5.3 of "pillow" > > pip3 uninstall pillow > pip install -I pillow==2.5.3 > > Now, WSJT in JTMS mode is much much better.
